Robert retired from the Republican Company as Circulation Systems Manager after 45 years of service. Bob loved to get together with his siblings and extended family to celebrate his Irish/Scottish heritage. His story telling would often include stories of the old days growing up around Springfield, family parties, etc. Bob was devoted to his family, especially his wife, whom he met at Cathedral High.
